Browser compatibility

Hi there,

I have been using Internet Explorer 6 to test my site while Building it, and it looks fine. But I have just tested it with Firefox and Netscape, and the graphics are not sitting correctly in the tables.

I know it's my own fault for not checking earlier, but have you got any ideas? It's a shame to start all over again.

There are gaps between the table borders and the images inside them, like the images are too small for the boxes. Could there be something wrong in the table that Internet Explorer doesn't pick up?

Many Thanks
Maggie

RE: Browser compatibility

Hi Maggie,

Unfortunately, this is one of the challenges of web design! Pages will sometimes look different in other browsers and versions.

What is the URL of your site please, so we can have a look and solve your problem more quickly.

You say the graphics are not sitting correctly in the tables, and that there are gaps between the table borders. If you don't want ANY gaps between borders or padding between the cell and borders, set cellspacing and cellpadding both to 0. The default for these parameters is 2, if they're not set.

eg. click the table and see properties in Dreamweaver - cell padding to 0 and cell spacing to 0. In code view it will be similar to <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

The other thing to check is if there is any style (CSS) associated with the table cells which could contain padding or spacing information.

Try these, and if still no go, please paste the URL would here, as we can look at the site in browsers and help you more.

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

Xhtml vs html

When using dreamwear template or just creating a blank webpage, you are able to select the markup language you want to use. The main choices are either xhtml or html. It is now best to select xhtml as this will translate all the html into xml, so it is transmitted across the web in xml format. One of the main advantages of this is that it makes the site that you build much more compatible with the range of different web browsers that exist.
